    About this ebook

    Music not only provides an entertaining listening experience, but it is also a metaphor for life itself, that is why it has been so important in every culture since time immemorial. The aim of this book is to provide a useful baseline from which to better understand how music can improve our physical and emotional health. Starting from the Greeks and Pythagoras, through the East with Nada Yoga, to modern science with quantum physics, the author offers some good advice on how to approach the wonderful world of music and awareness. Integral 432 Hz Music is created by blending different theories and teachings to achieve objective art, a combination of mathematics and creativity, following in the footsteps of the great masters, such as Osho and Gurdjieff, in order to reach a higher state of consciousness.

      Integral 432 Hz Music - Enzo Crotti

      receive.

      Introduction

      After years of writing about beneficial sound and awareness on my blog www.musica-spirito.it, I decided to use my knowledge and experience to create a new type of musical production, which I called Integral 432 Hz Music.

      This book will explore some of the concepts and theories I have been applying to my latest works, and is also designed to provide greater insight into the many facets of music as well as encourage music enthusiasts to elevate their listening experience beyond the level of mere entertainment. Though there is nothing wrong with such an approach, I have always been convinced that there is more to music than meets the eye. I also believe musicians should never ignore how their own music can affect listeners.

      I have always been fascinated by what Gurdjieff called Objective Music, i.e. a type of music that is able to convey knowledge and well-being. Pythagoras himself was said to have created music which could cure diseases.

      (See. http://www.gianfrancobertagni.it/materiali/musicaemistica/musicaogg.htm)

      Nowadays, we are fairly well acquainted with the many different clinical applications of Music Therapy, so these words can sound more real, and, after reading this book, even Pythagoras will probably seem more relevant today than ever before.

      My purpose is not by any means to teach how to treat diseases, but to create beneficial music and help listeners raise their awareness. I strongly believe that awareness is the key to everything and that self-improvement plays an important role in the growth of a person. That is the rationale behind my book, which I recommend reading to those who are interested in my work and wish to gain a deeper understanding of music and sound.

      Music, a universal emotion

      In ancient times music was said to be capable of arousing powerful emotions in listeners even though this view aroused controversy and was vehemently rejected by later thinkers. I am referring to the Doctrine of the Affections, supported by some great thinkers of the past, such as Marsilio Ficino and Galileo Galilei, yet rejected by others, including Stravinsky. In his Chronicle of my life,  Stravinsky addresses the subject by saying that for him music is, by its very nature, essentially powerless to express anything at all.

      (See. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_the_affections)

      Opponents of the Doctrine of the Affections argue that music is not inherently emotional, but it is the listeners through their cultural influences who attribute emotional qualities to it, so that someone who has never heard any music cannot produce the same emotional response as someone who has already heard and cataloged music in their brain.

      However, research has shown that Ficino and Galileo were in fact right and so were especially the early Greeks (like Pythagoras himself) who laid the foundations of our civilization. A study carried out by researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Sciences in Leipzig tried to figure out how people, who had never before heard Western music, would react emotionally when first exposed to it.

      (See. http://www.focus.it/comportamento/psicologia/la-musica-e-universale)

      The Mafa, an ethnic group located in the mountains of Cameroon, who had never heard any music but their own, were exposed to music by Mozart, U2, Lady Gaga etc. The outcome was very interesting, as it showed that listening to Chopin, Elton John and a lot of Western music, even for the first time, can stir the same emotions, regardless of race and culture, as if all humans were endowed with an innate capacity to understand it.

      Professor Fritz, who led the research, reported that The Mafa people were able to identify the feelings expressed in the pieces that were being played. Like any Western listener, they could feel joy in speed and color (e.g. in Are you Sleeping Brother John), sadness in slow tempos (as in funeral marches) and distress in minor keys (e.g. in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony).

      How can music affect our emotions so precisely?

      In my opinion, music is capable of evoking similar emotions in different people as it is, by its very nature, similar to ourselves. Quantum physics has proven that everything in life is vibration, and the laws governing our world are very similar to sound and harmonics. In later chapters, I will try to further explain these concepts.

      Frequencies and harmonics

      What is Sound?

      An acoustic wave (or sound) can be defined as a mechanical oscillation (movement in space), made by atoms and molecules through a medium, such as air, water, a wall, or anything that allows the wave to propagate. The molecules move along the waveform bumping into each other like dominoes, until they reach our ears.

      Frequency refers to the number of wave cycles occurring in one second. The human ear can detect vibrations in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.
